Nova Stylua

This is an extension for the Nova code editor which uses Stylua to format Lua files on save.

This extension is not associated with Stylua, so if you find any issues with it, please contact the author of the extension (submit an issue in the repository).

Setup

You’ll need to locally install Stylua — use the instructions in Stylua’s readme file.

• The extension formats the current editor content before it’s saved.
• You can define behavior of Stylua with a configuration file. The extension uses the workspace directory as working directory, searching for configuration files there.

There’s no configuration — if you’d like to see a feature that’s not supported, let me know! (Submit an issue in the repository.)
